The short version

How to play Wend

Trace every hidden word through the grid, one bend at a time.

  1. 01

    Find a word

    Start on any letter and connect neighboring letters to spell a word.

  2. 02

    Turn, don’t jump

    Move only up, down, left, or right. Paths may bend, but never move diagonally.

  3. 03

    Use every open tile

    Each open tile belongs to one answer. Blocked tiles are outside every path.

  4. 04

    Finish the grid

    Find all words so the paths cover the board without sharing a tile.
